X Factor Betting Odds: Robert, Eton Road, Nikitta & RaymondYesterday you’ll remember that we looked at all the X Factor contestants who don’t stand a freaking chance of winning. And today it’s the turn of the X Factor contestants that nobody cares about either way!

Remember before the live X Factor shows started, when there was a lot of talk about everything being completely different on X Factor this year? They weren’t kidding either – everything was different on Saturday. Everything! And by ‘everything’ we mean that Lionel Richie showed his big smug face for about eight seconds and Simon Cowell now has his shirt unbuttoned all the way to his belly button. Major, major changes. How are we expected to go back after that?

Here are the X Factor betting odds for Robert Allen, Eton Road, Nikitta Angus and Raymond Quinn, with betting odds from PaddyPower.com

Robert Allen – Faced with having to try and sell perhaps the most anonymous X Factor contestant in the show’s history to an already-overloaded public, what did Sharon Osbourne do? She only stuck Robert Allen on first, where he’d be most likely to be forgotten. And – let’s be fair – the world would be a better place if everyone forgot Robert’s X Factor performance of All Night Long, which involved him screaming “Let’s clap people, then, UH!” and “Woo, if you know it, sing!” like a Butlins redcoat. After the song, Robert Allen flitted backwards and forwards between hyperactive joy and hysterical weeping. That’s right – like a fucking nutter. Current X Factor betting odds – 12/1

Eton Road - We wish we had Louis Walsh’s brain, because we’d love to know what he was thinking when he let Eton Road be in the X Factor finals. “The world really needs to see four trainee hairdressers from Liverpool sing cloth-eared Motown songs that subsequently had movies named after them where Macaulay Culkin gets killed by a swarm of bees,” probably. Eton Road sang My Girl on Saturday’s X Factor, but they fell down when each member clearly started to try to out-sing everyone else in the group. Simon Cowell called Eton Road “odd,” which – as we all know – is code for “when the lead singer sings, he takes on a posture like a 1950s cartoon housewife who’s seen a mouse in her kitchen.” Current X Factor betting odds – 11/1

Nikitta Angus – You’ll know who Nikitta Angus is; she’s the X Factor contestant with the unique selling point of having a dead Mum. As tragic as that undoubtedly is, mentioning it within seconds of her X Factor VT package did seem like she was over-egging things a little. However, during her performance, Nikitta set this issue aside and looked like she was having the time of her life. Shame, then, that Nikitta sounded like a wasp in a wind tunnel all the way through her song. Which we can’t even remember the name of. That doesn’t exactly bode well for the future, does it? Current X Factor betting odds – 9/1

Raymond Quinn – That’s Raymond Quinn The Unstoppably Slappable Infant to you. In an obvious attempt to pander to the droves of housewives who watch X Factor, Simon Cowell brylcreemed the life out of Raymond’s hair and made him sing Ben, a weepy song about a dead rat. To call Raymond’s X Factor performance ‘weedy’ would be to do a giant disservice to everyone else who’s ever been called weedy in their lives – his vocals were simply all over the place. However, Simon Cowell said that Raymond is in possession of a little something called ‘likability.’ It’s just a shame he isn’t in the possession of a little something called ‘testicles’. Current X Factor betting odds – 8/1

Tomorrow – X Factor betting odds for Ashley McKenzie, Leona Lewis and Ben Mills. Don’t forget to check out Paddypower.com for the full list of X Factor betting odds, either!

  • xXxRosiexXx says:

    hiya ppl. Sarah Morris, tell Danny from Eton Road that he is a talented singer (as well as the other boys) and tell him that I said hello. I voted for Eton Road on Saturday (yesterday) and I was gutted when they were in the bottom two. I think they are all fit and cute and sexy. I think their best song was on the ABBA night ‘does your mother know’. Nice dancing guys! lmao. I don’t really have a favourite out of Eton Road but I like Danny and James. Mc Donnald Brothers did well last night. yay they finally won Simon Cowell over. Go McDonnald Brothers!!! hehe! Go Ray! you are very talented and I know that you will do well. I think you can win the X factor, but try to keep in mind that you need to be able to do lots of different styles of music, not just things like Elvis.

    Miss you already Danny, James, David and Anthony. You really made the show alive and good to watch. I’ll be watching the Xtra Factor on thursday on ITV2 and I am wishing you all the best in the future with Louis as your manager person. I promise that I will uy all of your CDs that come out. lmao. :P

    xXxRosiexXx – Eton Road Fan!

  • alice says:

    Lindzi You need to get a life. Anybody who could fall in love with RAY must be blind and deaf. His ever present grin is enough to send anybody mental. He has much charisma and sex appeal as a bowl of cold porridge. Anyway Lindzi, I gues you must be about ten years old so there is some excuse for you.

  • Katie says:

    I luv Ray!! hes so cute and has so much personality hes amazing! now its at the final im so worried about wots guna happen! i luv ray but leona really does have an amazing voice! the only thing is that she is sooo shy and doesnt have as much personality as ray, but shes fab! i hope no-ones comments on here cause any arguments! because ray n leona r both greatt they both really deserve 2 win! come on u guys that hate ray, give him some credit! he doesnt do swing EVERY week !!! n u gotta luv his smile! please stop calling ray or leona (whichever u least like) because they r both amazing !!!!
    BUT I DO LUV RAY !!!!!!
    so come on guys! vote for ray!!!!!
    the best 1 will win for a reason, and it may be leona!
    VOTE FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE!!!!! :P
    xxxxxx

  • Katie says:

    can i just add theres no need for stupid comments like saying people must be mad for falling in love with ray or leona…..we all have our opinions so don’t critisize people for them!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxx

  • Ellen says:

    I love RAY!!! i completely agree with Katie. I love Ray soooo much but i also like leona. i think she has an amazing voice, but Ray is a true performer. He lights up the stage with both his voice, performance and smile! Like Katie said, for the people who hate ray, give him a break, he is in the final for a reason and that reason is because he has talent. He has an amazing personality, he is trying as hard as everyone else, and he deserves to win! By the way, everyone who is calling Ray a one trick pony they are WRONG! because Ray has done something different for the past 4 weeks now, and anyways Ben is a one trick pony, because he does the same routine every week!! if u havent noticed!! Well i predicted that Ray and Leona would be in the final, and they are, so i wish both of them both the best of luck for this saturday!!! i’ll be voting for you Ray!!!!!! luv ell xxxxxxxxx

  • bob says:

    i hate ray sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much the only reason he has stayed in so long is because all the old grannys vote for him. if leona doesnt winn then it is all a fix !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • emily says:

    i love ray! i think that he is such a good performer and sooooo entertaining he is a true performer but leona doesnt do anything she is a good singer but she doesnt dance or anything like ray does, he has got a great personality to and he is soooooo cute when he smiles i just wanna hug him all the time i see him, and all the people that dont like ray i dont like either, give him a chance he is only ickle and soooooo cute, best of luck ray cant wait till you sing ill be watching you and hopefully voting, everybody vote ray please, luv emilyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxluv yaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxRAY IS SOOOOO CUTExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Katie says:

    GO EMILY!! she is sooooo right!!! vote for ray!!!!! i really think its a fix if leona wins…becoz of the lastest now magazine! theres looaaads been written about ehr and only a tiny bit about ray. luv you RAY ..YOUR AWESOME KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS!!!!!!!!
